Taking the hits for the hero on high

Summary:

Once a year it's up to Flower to save ringers, amateurs and greenhorns from themselves at the Spring Rodeo. That's more than enough work for any rodeo clown.

Notes:

This is set some time within my cowboy fic, Let me lay down beside you. It was written for day 7 of Yeehawgust 2023 Day 20 - Rodeo Clown. The title is taken from Hard is the Life (of a rodeo clown) by R.J.Moody.

Warning: clowns are discussed.

Thank you to Batik for all your help and support with this verse <3

Work Text:

Once a year, Flower gets together with Tristan Jarry, and Matt Murray. This year, they are joined by Casey DeSmith who will be their new barrelman. It’s serious business, despite the shit they get from some corners of the community.

“What!” Jordan laughs as he and the Staal brothers are kicked out of Flower’s Diner. “You’re not serious? Come on, Flower!”

Being a Rodeo Clown is always serious, especially when Kris and Sidney are coming out of retirement for this year's Spring Rodeo. Flower knows them better than anyone. Kris can’t help being a showboat and Sidney will be riding like he’s got a championship on the line. It’s hard enough with the usual group of ringers, amateurs and greenhorns. Excluding Eric, the Staal brothers fall into all three camps with a fair amount of overlap.

“You’ll thank us when we stop Mario’s new bull from ripping you a new one.”
